Cool, I'm not talented enough to create new stuff for the game but I'm sure this should help someone. Heck, I haven't even figured out how to make decent walls yet.

Thank you very, very much!!!
For me this is the most useful item of the last months! Be sure I'll use it at once.
Until now I used a counter or a mesh of a sim to get an impression of the size of an object. These times have passed now.

This is an awesome idea! I can't make meshes but I know if I did I would use this in a heartbeat. I have deleted numerous items from my game because they don't scale properly and this will be invaluable in helping creators adjust their items =)

What a fantastic idea! I've seen people complain for a long time about how difficult it is to scale something right when meshing. And while I can see this being the most useful in creating buy/build mode objects, I can still see a use for it in making clothing meshes, too... measuring the width of skirts, positioning the height of the hem... Thank you!

Meantime I tried your tool in my game. It is really very useful for me! The next days I will need it to do some mesuring and adjusting in my latest object I'm busy with. I'm very sure to be much faster and more accurate than before!
This is a graet job of you!! Thanks again!

darylmarkloc :
LIke many, I can not create objects or make meshes, but when I build, I often use "moveobjects" and "snaptogrid" to get the effect I need. This will make the repetition of these effects so much easier, and far more accurate. Thanks for a great job, and thanks for thinking out of the box.

Awesome, thanks! This will really help when I (try) to make some awesome houses and FINALLY upload them. Every time I try to make something cool, I screw it up. This will be very helpful, and hopefully it will help me to (finally) make an upload!
